> humans usually eat 3 times a day
I have no contrary statistical evidence, but I suspect this assumption may be wrong - especially with regard to poverty-stricken countries.
I count myself as a relatively privileged individual and for more than half of my lifetime (since being responsible for my own meals) I have mostly chosen to eat two meals per day. I know a lot of similar people.
Three meals per day is more than is needed for sufficient nourishment.
- lovich 9y agoright, like I said you could eat less. 3 meals isn't a hard and fast limit, its just common. Even if you got down to one meal a day though, the title is saying that it costs more than the income you make working that day. That is unsustainable
- tmnvix 9y agoIt could be sustainable if you are also growing food. That is, you would spend more than your entire day's earnings on food if not for the fact that you or your family produce most of the food you need. At least that is my take on how such a seemingly paradoxical situation can come about.
